Keys to Success
• World-leading science & technology
• Strategic Partnerships
• Investment/funding
• Shared understanding
UK Government requirement
10 year Science and Innovation Investment Framework, 2004
• Economic growth through innovation and increased levels of KE
10 year Science and Innovation Investment Framework - Next Steps, 2006
• Maximise the impact of science investment on the economy
UK science budget will be £3.4billion by 07/08, rising 5.8% year on year
• Must demonstrate return on investment in addition to high quality research

Long Term Outcomes:
Treasury Definition of EI
‘An action or activity has an economic impact when it affects the welfare of consumers, the profits of firms and/or the revenue of
government. Economic impacts range from those that are readily quantifiable, in terms of greater wealth, cheaper prices and more revenue, to those less easily quantifiable, such as effects on the environment, public health and quality of life’

Science and Innovation Framework 2004 – 2014, Next Steps
Creating “Science and Innovation Campuses”
‘….In support of these objectives, the Government has decided that the Harwell site, which includes RAL, and the Daresbury site should become the Harwell and Daresbury Science and Innovation Campuses respectively. The
Government will look to develop these campuses so as to ensure that the facilities located there are internationally competitive, support world-class
science, and maximise opportunities for knowledge transfer. Work has been commissioned to explore how this should be delivered in practice.’
